While the Falcons were busy making a name for themselves in the Malaysian music scene, another group of younger musicians consisting of Jerry Felix and his boys from Kuala Lumpur also emerged into the music scene. A problem arose as they were known as The Little Falcons. Of course Christopher wasn’t happy about the similarity of the names of the two bands. People might get confused so Christopher and his bandmates marched to the Straits Times office in Ipoh to issue a statement about the originality of the name of the band, The Falcons and who should have the right to use the name. The next day, the article appeared in The Straits Times and there was much talk about it. However, although there was a buzz when the article appeared in the newspaper, the matter eventually fizzled out. Of course Christopher wasn’t happy so he came out with an innovative idea to rename the band ‘The Fabulous Falcons’, to avoid any more confusion. But even till today, many people tend to get confused when the Fabulous Falcons are mentioned. But I guess, we should just let the matter rest now as neither band is fabulous nor little anymore.
